Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 20 residents (R2) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 20.
The findings include:
1. R2's face sheet included diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic
respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia, and anxiety disorder.

On January 31, 2024, at 8:49 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the staff should do an assessment and
the physician should be aware if the resident is to self-administer medications. V2 stated an assessment for
R2 was not done, as they were unaware she was self-administrating the inhaler.

removed R40's clothes to render incontinence care. R40 was wet with urine and had a bowel movement.
During the process of care, V4 went back and forth to the bathroom multiple times to change her gloves
and perform hand hygiene, leaving R40 totally naked in bed. In addition, V4 did not close the window
curtain and draw privacy curtain all throughout the care. Though R40's roommate was not in the bedroom,
he could have come in anytime.
2. On January 30, 2024, at 10:42 AM, V4 (CNA) assisted R11 to the bathroom for toileting care. The
bathroom was located by the entrance of the bedroom. V4 did not close the bedroom door or the bathroom
door while R11 was using the toilet. R11's roommate (R40) was inside the bedroom, sitting in his
wheelchair and propelling it.

level as the window. V6 did not close the window curtain during care. There was a building with a window
across the facility, which was facing R7's bedroom window.
On January 31, 2024, at 1:19 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated, Staff should provide privacy when
providing care like closing the door, drawing privacy curtain and window curtain; it doesn't matter which
floor the bedroom was located at, the staff should close the window curtain. The staff should expose only
body parts they're providing care to.
Facility's Policy and Procedure for Privacy and Dignity with revised date of July 28, 2023, shows:
Policy Statement: It is the facility's policy to ensure that resident's privacy and dignity is always respected by
staff.
Procedures:

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the indwelling urinary
catheter tube was secured to the resident to prevent potential tugging or pulling.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 3 of 4 residents (R7, R22, and R57) reviewed for urinary catheter care in the sample of 20.
The findings include:
1. On January 30, 2024, at 12:45 PM, V4 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) emptied R22's urinary catheter
bag with 750 ml output. V4 proceeded to render peri-care. During the provisions of care, it was noted R22's
urinary catheter tube was not secured to R22. It was moving freely and unsecured from side to side and
was in between her buttocks while being repositioned.
2. On January 30, 2024, at 1:22 PM, V5 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R57. During provisions of
care, it was observed R57's urinary catheter was not anchored to R57. The urinary catheter tube was
pulling during incontinence care and repositioning.
3. On January 30, 2024, at 1:48 PM, V6 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R7, who had indwelling
urinary catheter. The catheter tube was not anchored to R7. There was redness on R7's penis, and he was
complaining of pain. When V6 was providing peri-care, R7 was complaining of pain with every movement of
the unsecured catheter tube.
On January 31, 2024, at 1:08 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated the catheter tube should be
anchored to the resident to prevent pulling and tugging which could potentially cause injury.
Facility's Urinary Catheter Care Policy and Procedure with revised date of July 28, 2023, shows:
Changing Catheters:
2. Ensure that the catheter remains secured with a leg strap to reduce friction and movement at the
insertion site. (Note: Catheter tubing should be strapped to the resident's inner thigh).

Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. R58's
Physician order, dated August 15, 2023, shows: Enteral feed order every shift Jevity 1.5 enteral formula as
bolus feeding as follows: 360 mL at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM, and 240 mL at 9:00 PM.
R58's tube feeding care plan, dated July 6, 2021, shows the following: R58 needs the Head of Bed elevated
to 45 degrees during and thirty minutes after tube feed.
R58's ADL (Activities of Daily Living) self-care plan shows R58 requires extensive assistance of 2 staff
member for bed mobility.
On January 29, 2024, at 11:08 AM, R58's bed was flat (completely parallel to the floor). The head of the
bed was flat with no elevation. R58 was lying flat with one pillow under her head. V3 (Licensed Practical
Nurse) flushed and started R58's tube feeding while resident was lying flat, then V3 left the room and R58
was still lying flat in the bed. V3 did not elevate R58's head-of-bed (HOB) before she left R58's room. R58
remained flat throughout the entire encounter.
On January 29 2024, at 11:53 AM, R58 was still lying flat in her bed and the HOB was not elevated. R58's
feeding was infusing, and there was about 150 mL (milliliters) left in the bag.
On January 29, 2024, at 12:06 PM, R58's mother was in the room and the tube feeding was still infusing.
There was about 100 milliliters of feeding left in the feeding bag, and R58 was still lying flat on her left side.
R58's HOB was not elevated.
On January 31, 2024 at 2:33 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated a resident's head of bed should be
elevated at a 45 degree angle when receiving tube feedings. V2 stated resident's beds should not be flat
when feedings are being administered. V2 stated the bed should be raised to a 45 degree angle during
feeding and for a few minutes after the feeding as a good practice.
The facility's Enteral Tube Feeding Care policy dated July 28, 2023, shows the following:
Procedure: 4. Check for placement of G tube (Gastrostomy Tube) prior to administration of an enteral
formula, by checking if the G tube marking is still at the G tube insertion site. If the G tube marking cannot
be found or the marking is too faint to see, the nurse will aspirate gastric content and check the ph of the
aspirated material [to see] if it is between 1.5 to 5.5, which will confirm proper placement of the G tube in
the stomach.
5. Flush the enteral tube with 15 to 30 CC (Cubic Centimeter) of water before starting the enteral feeding
and after stopping the enteral feeding to ensure that the enteral formula in the enteral tubing is pushed to
the stomach.

The findings include:
Residents Affected - Few
1. The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R80 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple
diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure, stroke, dysphagia, and gastrostomy status.
R80's MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated November 23, 2023, showed R80 had a feeding tube.
R80's enteral feeding care plan, dated August 29, 2023, showed, [R80] requires enteral feedings as the
primary source of nutrition, due to the following conditions and risk factors: dysphagia. The care plan
continued to show multiple interventions dated August 29, 2023, including Monitor for complications:
aspiration, diarrhea, respiratory infection, dehydration, abdominal pain, feeding tube displacement,
nausea/vomiting, and abnormal lab values.
On January 31, 2024, at 11:27 AM, V13 (RN/Registered Nurse) administered R80's enteral bolus feeding.
V13 connected R80's enteral bolus feeding to R80's gastrostomy tube and infused the enteral feeding. V13
did not check placement of R80's gastrostomy tube or flush R80's gastrostomy tube with water prior to
administering R80's enteral bolus feeding.
On January 31, 2024, at 1:44 PM, V13 said she only checks placement of residents' gastrostomy tubes at
the beginning of V13's shift, and does not check placement again throughout the shift. V13 continued to say
she did not flush R80's gastrostomy tube prior to administering the enteral feeding.
On January 31, 2024, at 2:26 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said facility staff should check gastrostomy
tube placement prior to every administration of enteral feeding because the gastrostomy tube can move at
any time. V2 continued to say a resident's gastrostomy tube should be flushed with water before the enteral
feeding is administered. V2 said V13 should have checked R80's gastrostomy tube placement and flushed
R80's gastrostomy tube before administering the enteral feeding.
